Leo Gura replied to wildflower's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
You can do that, and it's mostly okay. But if one day you learn that Leo murders puppies for fun, you will get all butt-hurt and judgmental that Leo did not live up to your prayers. And this is YOU creating evil, not Leo. See, you are very judgmental. And judgment is a form of evil. If you want a pray properly, pray something like this: "Dear God, let me see all the evil in the world as Good and not need it to be any other way than exactly how it is." But this is impossible to do unless you have no self. -

It's very tricky because it's the ego that is trying. And the ego is evil. So when the ego tries to be good, selfless, and loving, it ends up creating much evil. The best way to become more selfless and loving is to awaken to Truth and realize the ego is false. Then selflessness and love happen automatically, and without that, selflessness and love are nearly impossible. The effort you want to put into being good would be better placed in realizing the ego is a fiction. Being Good is not something you do. It's what you realize reality has always once the ego is annihilated. Badness is not in the world or in the actions of humans. Badness IS literally your sense of finite self. -

But what you don't fathom yet is that Truth is infinite, and therefore it can be any which way. If you murder a puppy, that is Truth, and so there is no problem from the Absolute POV. The problem only exists in your finite mind. Truth does not mean that you act like a saint all the time. That's not Truth, that's an egoic fantasy that obscures the radical nature of Truth: which includes warts and all, not just the rainbows and butterflies. But hypocrisy is part of reality and therefore Truth. Why are you trying to resist hypocrisy? Can you see how you've made a shadow of it? 1) Why do you assume it causes suffering? 2) By your logic, all of life is suffering for all involved. The desire to avoid suffering is itself problematic and selfish. If God really cared to avoid all suffering, God would not have created any living entities. Your ideas are way too simplistic. Have you ever considered that if you truly loved yourself you would jerk off without guilt or suffering and life would be just dandy? Maybe try it sometime. -

Consciousness can imagine itself to be a kangaroo and become one Given that, why is deja vu any surprise? Consciousness's sole business is imagining shit. You can imagine forwards, backwards, sideways. So.... -
Leo Gura replied to Bob Seeker's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
It's not really psychosis or delusions. It's just God imagining reality is a different way than normal. This is all part of waking up to yourself as God. The ego loses control and of course old survival patterns break down and shit can happen. Which is precisely why egos avoid awakening like the plague. It will fuck with your survival. -

Three points about that you should contemplate and grasp: 1) It is actually impossible for any finite form to embody the Infinite. So what you expect is actually prohibited at the metaphysical level. The physical body and the finite mind has MANY limits which you will never transcend without death. 2) What you understand about reality and self-actualization will far exceed your ability to embody. And this is not a bug but a feature. 3) Your need and attachment to embodiment is itself an ego attachment. If you had no ego, you would not give a fuck about embodiment of anything. You would just flow along with life. So, ironically, your desire for gurus to act perfectly is just an egoic projection which will fall away after some deep awakening. Many of the things I talk about I don't and never will fully embody. Drop the perfectionism and just aim for improvement, not perfection. And if you think that jerking off or watching porn contradicts spirituality or awakening, you really misunderstand spirituality and awakening. -

I have not claimed that. You need more nuance. -
Leo Gura replied to Purple Man's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
That's because consciousness is lacking. Take psychedelics to see what you are missing. -
Leo Gura replied to Purple Man's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
No, I am saying something more radical than you can fathom. I mean you can become infinitely conscious, and you are nowhere near infinitely conscious right now. There is only one thing: Consciousness. Low awareness is not ontologicalally different from high awareness. Just like dim light is not ontologically difference from bright light. Consciousness is capable of taking on infinite degrees of self-awareness, much like light can take on many degrees of brightness. The light in my house is of the same nature as the light in your house, but that does not mean they are of equal brightness. If you were infinitely conscious you would know how you designed every hair on your ass. And if you became even more conscious than that, you would be so conscious that the hairs on your ass would all collapse and dissolve into pure Infinity, along with your ass -
Leo Gura replied to Purple Man's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
That's basically correct. You can become a thousand times more aware than you currently are. Of course that won't undermine the basic point that you are Nothing. -
Joe Rogan takes HGH. So yeah, people do silly things.

You're not going to find Love without a commitment to Truth first. Love is not what your ego imagines it to be. -
She is not going to have sex with you if she knows that.

Leo Gura replied to Daniel347's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Awakening is not a function of visuals. It's pure consciousness. It's like the difference between looking through murky vs clear water. -
Leo Gura replied to Gabith's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Then you will not get Love. Because Love = Truth -
She's not going to have sex with you unless you build a good rapport. And you cannot make any of this explicit.

Nice example. Thanks for sharing. -
Your title is very misleading.

@EnRoute Banned Be here to learn, not to spread your dogma. -
Of course It's hard to say. Level of empathy, degree of self-reflection capacity, awareness of self-bias, ability to see multiple perspectives, degree of holism and systemic thinking, size of one's circle of concern, lack of fear, etc. The correlations are pretty significant. I explained this in my video: How Society Evolves

My YT audience is like 80%+ male. In general YT skews male a lot. And my speaking style will turn a lot of women off.

I am unusually explicit about such things. It's a controversial point to make explicit because it then alienates half your audience. So I can see someone like Daniel, who tries to be very careful, not want to explicit alienate anyone and therefore not stating it explicitly. To say that left is more conscious than right makes you seem like a partisan. It is a taboo thing to say because people assume only a biased partisan would say it. Which is of course a deep epistemic mistake because there is no reason why two worldviews should be equally conscious. In fact, the odds are against it. It's the same mistake as assuming that any two random people taken off the street are equal in intelligence. There is no reason why that would be the case.

With psychedelics this is true. Dream state is different. The degree of consciousness in a dream is less than normal life unless you are lucid dreaming. And even then it doesn't rise to the level of psychedelics. -
